trapped in the sense that we have no choice but to face all these regional problems in way that a country like spain or the uk doesnt have to ever worry about. The geography dictates your either a great power or you have to endure a tough existence. From the Romans to the Ottomans. When your...
If it ever turned into an all out war Turkey vs Russia i have no doubts NATO would kick Turkey out and find any excuse to legitimise it. In all our conflicts and problems with Russia most NATO nations either didn't give two shits or outright supported Russia.
But Turks are trapped by...
You don't need outsiders for that you got AK party, they have done an exceptional job at destroying the Turkish economy. However it only adds to my point Turks cannot afford political incompetence you are sitting on a cliff edge. The British are far from everything, they are under no direct...
You make a few points.
The first concerns the s400. Ok you brought it, soon after the Russians bombed Turkish troops as a reward. Politically speaking Russians are some of the most degenerate actors on earth. But you got the s400 you waved it in the wests face and then soon after the Russians...
Politically speaking i would rate Turkey around 3 out of 10. Nearly falls into every trap prepared for her, shows little to no foresight over what she does, a good example the s400. Complete inability to achieve anything diplomatically and the nation spends most her time trying to correct her...
British politics is too shrewd, they would never allow a PKK state to form on her border and they wouldn't have waited so long for say the americans and russians to entrench themselves there.
While Britain's boss the Americans play bad cop towards the Turks, the British have moved into the...
The Russians had every advantage in that situation meanwhile they all literally run away leaving themselves open to be taken out.
Really shows the difference in mindset. The Ukrainians charge face first into danger with no concern for death, meanwhile the Russians at the first moment of a...
Terrorist attacks on Turkish soil was so common for such a long time that most are numb to it. In england one terrorist attack will have the nation up in arms and they will go on about it for years. In Turkey by next week it will be forgotten about. Thats how common this shit is and most of it...
You are optimistic. Had Turks been reduced to the treaty of sevres, the next stage would have been the genocide on the remaining Turkish population by the surrounding greeks, armenians and their backers.
A hundred years have passed and our enemies still will not relent in their imperialist...
That would make it interesting, its quite normal for the pkk to bite the hand that feeds them once that hand stops looking to feed them.
Unfortunately maybe a thousand families will be negatively effected from this terrorist attack.
In order of likelihood.
PKK or some other communist offshoot.
Isis or some Al queda offshoot operating out of Syria.
greeks/armenians but via proxy of the above.
But in general these kinds of terrorist attacks where they leave bombs in civilian areas is typical pkk.
On a side note we shouldnt...
